Trial should be as simple as S1 Ferrari, and it's Highway Circuit, unless I change my mind in the next couple of days I won't be testing here, boring cars, boring track and I'm still missing the F8 Tributo.

Current fastest on the boards is a 458 Speciale by someone with a Forza badge next to their name though I've never heard of them, #160 with a 1:33.258, not far behind is an Enzo at 1:33.611 and the first auto time also in an Enzo at 1:33.837, 2 places behind that another 458 Speciale with a 1:33.861, and it says that they're all conventional AWD conversions.

Just like the current season though the 2nd track will be relevant to the kind of build/tune to go with for the event itself, no good tearing up Highway Circuit with no aero + stock tires if it means your car's barely going to turn in the next race.

 

[BurmaEK]

Thanks TGM. I expect chaos given it’s S1 with plenty of ramming intentional or otherwise. The 458S will be my choice.

 

[geistwriter]

I'm guessing S1 Italy for the stunts. I also found the exact spot for the photo challenge, although anywhere on the golf course is probably ok:

Dang, I have neither the enzo nor 458s... so I tried the 430 scuderia in rivals and clocked 1:36.4 which is ok for me since I'm always at least 3s behind the fast drivers. It has decent top speed and enough grip for circuits (tried on hokubu) so I guess I'm going with that.

Edit: The cars I've tested with decent grip for circuits
Enzo 1:33.321
458 Italia 1:33.910 (Semi Slick}
296 GTB 1:34.427
430 scuderia 1:35.191 (Semi Slick)
488 Pista 1:35.410
J50 PO 1:35.421

I finally got two Sestos, an F8 and a 288 from wheelspins, all within ten minutes. still seen zero exclusives at the dealership.

 

[Jezza14]

I’ve ran in the 33s with my standard lobby tune Enzo. Will probably use the LaFerrari as first choice though. Depending on the second course might try and tune a couple of no aero options.

 

[ConstinOddity]

Managed to snag an Enzo from italian dealership, it is indeed very fast, clocked a 1:34.2

Update: Now sitting at 1:33.708 which is currently 4th fastest enzo on the board. First 2 are auto with 1:32.8 and 1.32.9, and the 3rd is the fastest MC 1:33.611 listed earlier by TGM.

 

[geistwriter]

so I got the rarest wheelspin car in the game... 35 million cr... and still haven't seen a single exclusive at the exotics dealership.

I also got one a few weeks back, literally transformed the game in terms of purchasing power.

I think s1 racing v12 + rallies is a great build, this is a good event to test that theory, pretty much all of these cars have the swap

 

[ziperrPL]

Is there any tutorial how to tune suspension + tire pressures for different compounds (not theoretical, but working in FH6)? Or maybe calculator?
I've set a time at Highway Circuit in Enzo with LetzEU's tune, but would like to improve that time with my own tune.

EDIT: Has anyone tried this - https://forza.guide/ ?

 

[ConstinOddity]

I think LetzeLU's tunes are as good as it gets for rivals, there's a youtube channel where he shows the settings for tunes, doesn't explain anything though

https://www.youtube.com/@LetzeLU

His tunes are fast and they turn so well, I'm just not as capable using them in races because they oversteer more than I'm used to so I prefer to tune more stable ones, but the top clockers in rivals use them.

 

[ziperrPL]

I've tried to use tips from https://forza.guide/ and I would say my tune is better than it was, but something is missing. There is so many things I can change that even despite really clear instructions I still feel like I'm working blindly.

IMO my best option to get some conclusions is to build Audi R8 using "guide" and later finding differences between it and the one from Letz's video. And later somehow transfering that info to Enzo.
Or I could just ask Letz, but that probably would be too simple 🤣

Wow I felt lucky getting 10 million from a Shelby Daytona earlier today but that’s even better luck. You could easily buyout all 6 of the wheel spin cars and bid for another 330 P4 from the AH with that many credits.

My daytona wouldnt sell,I put it on twice and both times nothing.Theres so many on there now.I put a Gtr FE,the one that was so rare,on the ah and dropped it to 3 million to sell it.Crazy times.Some cars are way over priced,for example Nissan 240sx'93,whereas others are dirt cheap.The Lambo sesto is a cheap buy at the moment.

When you get a duplicate car from a wheel spin you have the option to keep it, gift it, or get credits equal to half the value of the car. I knew if I kept it and sold it at the AH I would get less than 10 million so I took the half value option this time. Sometimes you can get more from keeping a car and selling it on the AH while other times you can’t.

re: AH, i like being the original owner of all the cars - which I finally did yesterday, got the last one I was missing (amg clk) from a wheelspin.

the 35 million cr wheelspin was great because it repaid me for most of what I wasted buying duplicate Italian exotics. but when I logged in just now it said my lifetime earnings were over 430 million, so I would have been fine without it. I hope more people get that lucky.

Sometimes you can get more from keeping a car and selling it on the AH while other times you can’t.

profit margin on wheelspin cars in the AH is shrinking unfortunately, the wheelspin payout is better 9/10 times. I used to keep every FE dupe for resale, but not anymore, and my dupe Sesto sat for a while at 6 mil a few days ago.

 

[geistwriter]

pretty sure this is incorrect. i have 2 extra points when I add everything up, I assume these are supposed to be 2 points each.

Read somewhere that tracks 2 and 3 in the Trial are Shirakawa Circuit and Daikoko Circuit.

yeah there's some annoying tryhard on reddit who has all the info early

 

[ConstinOddity]

Surprisingly Enzo with rallies does pretty well on those tracks if handled with care, but I swapped in semi slicks for my trial tune.

On Highway, my rallies did 1:33.321 while semi slicks did 1:34.332. Shirakawa my rallies were ard 0.1s faster and Daikoku my semis were 1s faster.

 

[ConstinOddity]

Oh my... First trial I had to go to the 3rd race... There was this 3 star player that threw me off on the 2nd race, his racing style is dive bomb and wall ride every corner and I got rammed multiple times on the Shirakawa 1st lap until I could get far away enough, I lost focus and raced poorly...

Anyway semi slick enzo was pretty good for the trial and enough grip to race cleanly, if anyone wants to try heres the sc: 150 093 322

Edit: Updated the tune

I wouldn’t say you drove poorly, far from it. If that player hadn’t been a pest in race 2, you have won that too.

 

[StackedMan256]

Well, my playthrough of The Trial.... didn't go as planned. In the 1st race, I was going well, and then I got hit by an invisible collision. In 2nd race, I missed one of the checkpoint as if I got penalty for track limit even though i touched one of the checkpoint banner. and the 3rd race, by that point, My team got outnumbered due to users left during either 2 of the races but I did well. In the end, My team won despite one of the users left.

 

[AudibleJam509]

Well, looks like no one in North America will be doing anything in the playlist. Major outage at Microsoft.

Kinda explained how I wasn't able to jump into Motorsport this morning.
